Celebrity Body Types: James Franco (James Edward Franco)
The Four Body Types Scientific Identification: Body Type Two, BT2
Male/Man
Genetically Underdeveloped Vertebrae (Muscles/Muscle Mass): 1 to 8; Lumbar
Date of Birth: April 19, 1978
Age: 46 (as of 2024)
Unscientific/Nonsense Body Types Rough Correlations: Ectomorph, Hormone/Liver
Celebrity James Franco sporting his genetic scientific Body Type Two (BT2) shape physique/figure while on holiday with friends and family including his girlfriend Izabel Pakzad. The fully developed 
vertebrae (posture) and muscles/muscle mass are debatable. He is showing possible signs of skinny fat (cellulite, thin fat, loose skin, saggy skin, crepey skin, normal weight obesity) on his love handles 
and lower back, indicating a 
likely underdeveloped lumbar vertebra or several, no less.
One pound of muscle burns six calories per day, but one pound of skinny fat/fat only burns two to three calories. Which directly affects metabolism (the more skinny fat and fat, the slower the metabolism). The mostly developed posture, muscles, and muscle mass across the majority of his BT2 is an advantage that Body Type Three (BT3) and Body Type Four (BT4) human bodies (male or female) generally lack.
Diet, exercise, lifestyle, metabolism, and BMI matter. But so do genes/genetics/DNA. As he continues to age, it will be interesting to see how well James Franco successfully maintains his body shape physique/figure. Is he really a Standard Body Type One (BT1)?

Academy Award-nominated, Emmy Award-nominated, and Grammy Award-nominated star Hollywood actor James Franco 
displays his Body Type Two shape/figure/physique while on vacation. He began acting while attending Palo Alto High School in California. After graduating in 1996, he matriculated at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with aspirations to become a marine zoologist. He soon dropped out to pursue acting, against his parent’s wishes.
Taking a job at McDonald’s to support himself, he took acting lessons with Robert Carnegie at the Playhouse West while attending the California State Summer School for the Arts 
(CSSSA) in 1998. Shortly after, he began auditioning in Los Angeles, landing his first television commercial for Pizza Hut as a dancing Elvis Presley. Paying his dues, guest parts on episodes of the TV shows Pacific Blue (1997, USA Network) and Profiler (1999, NBC) led to his first big breaks with a leading role on the short-lived cult hit NBC television series Freaks and Geeks as well as starring in the 2001 TV biographical film James Dean (Emmy Award-nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie).
